In this course you will take an in-depth look at the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States as it relates to Chaplaincy. You will examine and understand in detail the application of the embedded concepts of the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause and their relationship to religious ministry in secular society and institutional chaplaincy. You will examine, with specificity, the issues of separation of church and state, evangelism and proselytization within government institutions, and the freedom to pray in Jesus’ name, all within the context of institutional chaplaincy.
